CSS faster. But using Sass doesn’t magically create “better” CSS. If you write bad code, Sass won’t remedy it. But Sass isn’t a magic bullet (Because no framework is)
people feel they don’t need to learn before they start using it.” — Douglas Crockford http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTIJBZook A day to learn, A lifetime to master
only takes effect if an element is position: fixed, relative, or absolute. The default is position: static. You don’t have to go overboard with z-index: 99999. Just +1 higher than another element will suffice.

=> Same result, but different approaches var APP = { foo: function() { // Do stuff. }, bar: function() { // Do more stuff. } } var APP = {}; APP.foo = function() { // Do stuff. }; APP.bar = function() { // Do more stuff. }; I prefer the one on the left, but you would call methods by using the same syntax either way: APP.foo() + APP.bar()
{ // For use only inside APP. var PRIVATE_CONSTANT_1 = 'foo'; var PRIVATE_CONSTANT_2 = 'bar'; // Expose contents of APP. return { go: function() { for (var i in APP.init) { APP.init[i](); } }, // APP.init init: { call_automatically: function() { // Called when DOM is ready. // Can still be called individually, via: // APP.init.call_automatically(); }, // etc. }, // APP.misc misc: { call_specifically: function() { // Must be called individually, via: // APP.misc.call_specifically(); }, // etc. } }; // Alias window, document. })(jQuery, this, this.document); // Automatically run all functions in APP.init jQuery(document).ready(function() { APP.go(); }); Module Pattern << init example Using a module pattern exposes only one global variable, in this case “APP” – with the rest of your methods within an object. It gives you the ability to use private “constant” variables inside your appʼs function scope. Nesting functions within an “init” object allows them to be called automatically on DOM ready.

to add styling hooks to form elements, since I know from experience that is no cup of tea.” — Source = Me when announcing 960.gs in 2008! — Excuse = New HTML5 elements set me back :) It’s been awhile in the making...
Explorer detection. function IE(version) { var b = document.createElement('b'); b.innerHTML = '<!--[if IE ' + version + ']><br><![endif]-->'; return !!b.getElementsByTagName('br').length; } IE detection for Prototype.js http://formalize.me/assets/javascripts/prototype.formalize.js Prevents false positives since Opera can be made to impersonate IE. Note: I did this because Prototype doesn’t detect IE version number.
